Rogue cultivator with a sad backstory and a huge chip on his shoulder

• 5'7''
• Dresses well but still manages to seem kind of scruffy
• Wears furs in the winter but they're made from actual animals, not yao pelts

• Feral weasel of a guy
• Kind of a jerk, but kind to those he thinks deserve it

• High level cultivator

• Born into Xingfu Gu, a small unorthodox sect that lived in peace with yao
• Orphaned young and taken in by Qingshui Tang, an orthodox sect
• Was told by them that yao killed his family
• Found out in his teens that Xingfu Gu was actually massacred by an alliance of orthodox sects, including his adopted home, because they chose to befriend yao rather than kill them for their cores

• Ding Susu (丁苏苏): Childhood friend from Qingshui Tang. Wants him to come back into the fold and try to change orthodox policy from within bc she fears for his life.
• Baili Chengzhi (百里承志): Are you kidding me
